Had a buddy fall at 38' off and break his tibia and fibula this weekend. Sounded like a bad one, compound fracture, one out one side of the calf and the other on the opposite side near the ankle. Plates, screws and recovery ahead. He is a tough guy and I wish him the very best in recovery. One of the better skiers I know and an optimist. I hope he recovers well enough to ski again. He's not only a good guy, but good for the sport.

OTF wipe out? running a course? What happened... binding not release? Is so which bindings was he wearing?

Wish him the speediest of recoveries...

38 off in the course in a Tournament. I haven't spoken to him, but according to his wife hit a buoy. He wears hard shells. It sucks, to get hurt and this is a bad one. It seems like ankles at the balls and ribs at the wake. He does hundreds of passes a year and skies year round, his number came up.
